Here are effective exercises to work-out your abs using Ab Straps
Doing off-the-floor crunches and leg lifts are very effective for your abs but then it is not very comfortable doing it straight on the pull-up bar.
This is where Ab Straps are particularly useful.
Advantages of Abs Straps
Without these, most people find that their wrists hurt while trying to do ab exercises directly on a pull-up bar.
And because the strain is not on your wrists, you are able to do more number of reps thus making your ab exercises effective.
And if you have been doing crunches all this while, you will be relieved to workout without the neck pain that is usually associated with ab crunches.
So its well worth the money.
You Need to Set it Up
All the instructions are provided in the box, and Installation is easier!
You will need a generic pull-up bar installed in the doorway and the straps will just clamp to it.
Included is a workout poster that gives you various pictures of various abdominal workouts that you can try out.
Tips for Better Workout
Avoid swinging to have the maximum impact on your abs.
If you find it hard to control the swing, here’s a simple technique you can try out.
Close the door, if you have one, behind you so that you can press your back against it. It will help you to do more reps.
